3.Born to etiquette. Yet dancing in fetters
4.No revolutionary “shackles off my feet…”
5.Classical or at least a renaissance style
6.Illegal acts not aesthetically pleasing
7.Perhaps immoral acts also fit this bill
8.Therefore aesthetics is about social class
9.And this leads us to a damning realization

#usurpation
Hamlet and Macbeth both portray usurpers as ruling kings, and in each case it is made clear that such rule is not to be tolerated either by the ruled or by the universe. Indeed, the fate of kings is tied to the order of the universe, and dissension and tension in one is reflected in the other. Yet, the issue is complex, and while the usurper has no right to rule, it is not always clear who has the right to prevent him from ruling. In Macbeth, the fate of the usurper is ordained, and his downfall at the hands of the wronged Macduff, who is the rightful king. Macduff has the right to retake his throne by force. The hesitation of Hamlet, much commented on by critics, may derive from the fact that while he knows Claudio to be a regicide, to kill Claudio would make him a regicide as well. In both plays, the usurpation of the throne leads to a more dangerous and uncertain environment in the land, and nature concurs by expressing through storms and other travails visited upon the people that a great political wrong is also a great moral and religious wrong

Its not the fresh prince that’s a threat to comedy
Its the crown prince!
Its the fragility of leaders!
Comedy doesn’t change the world
But its a bellwether
When a society is under threat, comedians are the ones who get sent away first

Have you ever read the Theogony? It’s a fairly short book, although a fascinating account of the Greek gods. The Iliad and The Odyssey are epic works. So that’s for starters. I would argue that the Iliad and the Odyssey are also just more interesting, being histories that had it all: war, murder, rape, betrayal, adultery, gods, witches, magic, victory, defeat, misfortune, revenge, vindication—you name it, it’s in the Iliad or the Odyssey. Each of them could make a fine mini-series!
— Bryan Roth
Because it’s rubbish.
I’m joking, of course. To an extent. But the Theogony isn’t as famous as the Homeric epics for a number of reasons!
Firstly, it isn’t a coherent narrative in the same way as Homer’s works are. It’s really more of an epic catalogue (which, as we’ll know from the catalogue of ships in Iliad 2, are everyone’s favourite parts of an ancient text… not).
It’s also significant that the Homeric epics document a very popular set of stories — the Epic Cycle was epic indeed! Battles at Troy? Enduring heroes struggling to get home? Mythical monsters? Everyone wants to hear about those! Can we really pretend that a blunt list of the 50+ children of ‘Nereus and rich-haired Doris’ is as gripping as Achilles telling Hektor he’d like to hack him up and eat his flesh raw?
It hasn’t been studied in the school system (ancient to modern) like the Homeric epics have been; that’s one of the main reasons for the tenacity of Homer’s works — they’ve been very popular for a long time! The Theogony just hasn’t been treated with quite so much affection, over the years… it isn’t as easy to read, nor necessarily as much of a pleasure.
The Theogony also just isn’t quite as impressive as the Homeric epics. It’s only about 1000 lines, compared to the Odyssey’s ~12,000, or the Iliad’s ~15,000.
